Abstract

Considering the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation as the weight function, we give the iterative format for solving the nonhomogeneous Helmholtz equation with variable coefficients. Furthermore, the iteration method of BEM for solving the equation mentioned above is obtained. The numerical example is given in this paper. Finally, the iteration method of BEM mentioned above is compared with the coupled method of BEM that was presented before then by authors.
